Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge in Indiana is one of my favorite places to photograph — a little gem of the National Parks system. This weekend I went back for the 5th time in search of river otters. The otters are never guaranteed and if you do see them, they’re often far off in the middle of one of the many lakes in the refuge. Not this time, as I had my best look at them yet, including this family of three I photographed at the end of the day on Sunday. For the most part, the surface of the lakes are frozen, but the otters poke holes through the ice in areas where it is thin and spend the day fishing, resting on the ice, and making sure the holes don’t freeze over. I got tons of shots, so more on these guys in upcoming posts.
